don't forget to escape that exclamation point if typing on bash.

Why not copy the directory elsewhere, then delete the rest and move it
back? You'd take a copy of it anyway, if it is important, right?
Cheers,

Try
find / -path /usr/local/digitalplatform -prune -o name '*varnish*' -print
Without the explicit -print, find will implicitly add one
e.g
find / \( -path ..

find / -path /usr/local/digitalplatform -prune -name \*varnish\* doesn'
find / -print | grep -v digitalplatform | grep varnish | xargs rm
But test this first - you don't want to remove anything by accident.

Thanks. But what if I want to turn that statement into one that will delete
everything it finds? I need to preserve the contents of that directory.
As in : find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name
"*varnish*" -exec rm -rfv {} \;
I'm thinking the grep -v would be a visual thing,
So:
find / -print | grep -v digitalplatform | grep varnish

Just grep it out.
find . -print | grep -v digitalplatform
-v excludes

Hey all,
I'm trying to do a find of all files with the phrase 'varnish' in the
name, but want to exclude a user home directory called
/usr/local/digitalplatform.
Here's what I was able to come up with:
find / -path '/usr/local/digitalplatform/*' -prune -o -name "*varnish*"
Which results in thi
